When the Los Angeles Tribune recently profiled our founder in an article titled “Built from Experience: How One Founder Turned Credit Pain into Power”, it hit close to home. Not just because it was about us, but because it reminded us why Hatch exists in the first place.
We weren’t born in a boardroom. Hatch was born from frustration, dead ends, and rejection letters. From phone calls with creditors that went nowhere. From credit reports that didn’t tell the full story. From a system that often feels more like a trap than a tool.
A Broken System Deserves a Better Answer
If you’ve ever felt stuck with bad credit, even when you’re doing everything right, you’re not alone. Our founder was once there too. Not because of recklessness, but because life happened. Medical bills. A missed payment during a rough patch. The kind of “dings” that stick around for years, even after you’ve made things right.
That’s what the LA Tribune article spotlighted: how one person’s journey through credit hardship turned into a mission to make credit fair, accessible, and human.
From Pain to Purpose
When our founder left one of the biggest names in credit repair, it wasn’t out of boredom. It was because that system was broken. Customers were being charged hundreds, sometimes thousands, for “help” that came with fine print and false promises. The people who needed the most support were getting the least.
So we built Hatch.
A platform that believes you shouldn’t have to pay more because someone else misunderstood your credit report. A service that challenges not just inaccuracies, but unfairness, because accuracy alone isn’t justice. And a team that stands up for everyday people.
This Isn’t Just Tech. It’s Personal.
Our customers are military service members deployed overseas, only to come home to surprise collections. They’re single parents who co-signed on a loan they no longer control. They’re hard-working individuals trying to buy a home, rent an apartment, or get a job, only to be denied because of a number they didn’t fully understand.
That’s why we do what we do.
Hatch gives you access to your reports from all three bureaus. We help you understand what’s hurting your credit, and then build a plan to challenge what doesn’t belong. Not just the inaccurate stuff, but the unfair, the outdated, the unverifiable.
Because credit should be a reflection of who you are today, not what happened during your hardest season.
Our Ask to You
If you’ve ever felt unseen by the credit system, we see you. If you’ve been told to “just wait seven years,” we’re not okay with that. And if you’re ready to fight for the credit you deserve, we’re in your corner.
